Vernon Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Hi after having the glass top explode into a million pieces (someone left the gas on!). Was still picking glass out of my home a week later! Anyway, need a Thetford hob glass model s-HB 14200. Any ideas where? Thanks Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletguy Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Tried contacting Thetford direct? https://www.thetford-europe.com/download-product/argent-hob-shb14200/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randonneur Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 We got our new glass pan door from Magnum Motorhomes, I am sure they will have the glass hob covers as well. LeisureShopDirect do Thetford spares as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasnt Me Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Hope you get one. Why don't they put a safety valve on the lids, like domestic kitchen ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they can sell more when folk forget to turn the gas off! ;-) To be fair to the op it's safe to say the majority of motorhome fittings are not as robustly made as domestic and easily broken. Needless to say they are also expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Wasn't Me - 2018-07-14 5:49 PM Why don't they put a safety valve on the lids, like domestic kitchen ones? On every van we have had in recent years they do - but the hob is still very hot if you shut it too soon after turning the flame off and that is what can happen if you are unlucky. Bet he won't do it again!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witzend Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Get a new one cut at your local glazier's you'll save £££££'s They can do rounded corners hole etc If you can't make a template from stiff cardboard or plywood they can frosted or tinted.

Vernon Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 Thanks all for the suggestions. Yes I've learnt my lesson, the expensive way, hence looking for a cheap alternative. I'm sure buying from Thetford is the expensive way (I'll enquirer about cost) however I thought buying from a dismantler/independent merchant would be less painful. I'll look into having a piece of glass cut and tempered. You never know I might start a trend! I'll Let you know the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinhood Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 https://www.leisureshopdirect.com/gas/caravan-hob/spinflo-hobs-and-cookers/glass-lids-for-spinflo-cookers/spinflo-argent-hob-glass-lid-smoked (Or try Leisurespares) At least this gives you an idea of 'new' price.

Dickybeau Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I broke one a couple of years ago because I hadn’t secured something in a cupboard that dropped when I opened it. Burstner wanted silly money but Perthshire Caravans tracked the original manufacturer number so I git it for £60 rather than £100+. Thetford might surprise you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witzend Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Vernon - 2018-07-15 9:35 AM . I'll look into having a piece of glass cut and tempered. You never know I might start a trend! I'll Let you know the outcome. They carry tempered glass mine for a 2 burner hob was £17 been fine for 3 yrs now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernon Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 Just an update on the glass top. I've checked prices, found replacement at £78. So I made a template and had one made for £38. Which isn't bad as I can now keep the template, just in case.... Thanks for all your comments, happy journeys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witzend Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 So many people when something like this breaks get ripped off buying replacement doors from the original manufactures at inflated prices when there glazier can make a replacement for very little. Oven doors, log burner doors are just a few that can be cut to suit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
